“Very Special” Homecoming 1981 rhere was a time and a place for everyone at Marshall-U in the Very Special Homecoming of 1981. Besides the popular traditions of the past, new ideas were added in order to get more people involved in the planning. For example, committees were formed to organize every event from the pep test to the dance. Under the supervision of Homecoming chairperson Nancy Olson, many eager volunteers took part in making sure Homecoming '81 was one to be remembered. As Ms. Olson put it, Thanks to the participation of dedicated students and their input of time and energy. Homecoming was a big success. Friday's pep fest kicked off the exciting week to come with the introduction of the football team, announcement of royalty candidates, and plenty of cardinal spirit. Next, after weeks of careful planning, the very special coronation took place the following Thursday. While everyone in the hushed auditorium watched in suspense. 1978 Queen Anita Clarke paced up and down the stage before crowning King Stephen Starr. Steve in turn carefully inspected each of the queen candidates and finally kissed Beth Hammer. 1981 Homecoming Queen. Excited students rushed onto the stage to congratulate all the candidates. Beth later exclaimed. Coronation itself was exciting, but the preparation and everything leading up to it was the most fun of all.” The royalty candidates lunched at Jax Cafe with Dr. Schwichtenberg and then relaxed at Ann Manzara's house before returning to school to join other students in hallway decorating that evening. After hours of hard work, the many partici- pants were pleased with the results — a very colorful, decorated school! After school on Friday, another pep fest helped arouse school spirit, and soon after it was off to Parade Stadium for the football game ... Although our homecoming button bore the slogan Centaur Power is a Myth , top-ranked Brooklyn Center defeated the cardinals 41-6. But the crowd's spirits were high as fans took advantage of the chance to be rowdy and enjoy the crisp autumn weather. The much-improved pep-band provided music for the school song and more, at both the game and pep fest. Friday night’s Homecoming Dance ended the week perfectly. Most students agreed that it was the best dance M-U has had in years! In fact, our yearbook photographer was having such a good time that he forgot to take pictures! But the memory still lingers. Actual dancing took place in the women's gym to music provided by a DJ from Midwest Sound and Light Shows. He played a variety of songs from New Wave to Funk and seemed to please everyone. The men's gym was transformed into a social lounge where people relaxed, talked and enjoyed refreshments served by the adaptive students. Tables decorated with red and pink carnations added to the sentimental atmosphere. Homecoming was indeed a very special time of the year. Dr. Schwichtenberg agreed in saying. This was the most well planned and successful Homecoming I’ve seen in all my years at M-U.
